,\Vinghant, Ont.. June 28, 1951,
The recent action of nineteen mem-
hers of the Huron County Council in
voting for procedure leading towards
111e repeal of The Canada Temperance
Act in the County filled the minds of
many electors with consternation,
Soule have felt a compelling urge to
speak out, Let us not be fooled. It is
.not those who wish to d:creas'C the con
suntption of intoxicating beverages in
Huron County wtho have sponsored this
stove. We salute the courage of the
eleven councillors who opposed any
change.
Let the electors stark well the names
of their representatives to County
Council and hots they toted. Let the
electors renumber that the repeal of
the Canada 'Temperance Act in Huron
county was not an issue in the election
which gave these men their scats. Des-
erting of censure of the strong-
estpossible terms is the ac-
tion of 111C11 W110 attempt to
usurp an authority not justly theirs, Let
cleccd representatives renlernber that
the freedoms of democracy purchased
and held at great cost.ca)not be treat-
ed as trifles with impunity, Who is
there who can truthfully say that the
tote registered represented the will of
the electors of I-Iuron County? A vote
of the people is required to remove it,
I :1111 of strong opinion that a number
lof County Council votes cast in favour
of the Repeal Resolution were cast
(without clue consideration of what the
vote implied; A lack of awareness of
the consequences is evident. My busi-
ness takes ole front 01111end of the

Most peCpte in central Ontario
will have heard, or read, of the
"twister" that struck the Hornby
district last week, Hornby is about
10 minutes drive from here, yet
our first awe of the terrible dam-
age was by radio. We had no ink-
ling of a because even though the
wind and rain were pretty bad
right here there was no real dam-
age—except for the rain beating
eight acres of newly -cut hay into
the ground—and that may be dam-
age enough.
Thursday afternoon we went
over to llurnby. The havoc was
almost unbelievable. Thousands of
dollars damage to three farms, and
the house and barn on one small-
holding. Yet no one was killed or
seriously injured, It -was a miracle.
Details have been given in all the
papers but a few oddities have es-
caped notice. For instance, on the
Marchnteut farm—better known in
the district as "the old McCurdy
farm"—there was a great number
)f fine old trees, Many were torn
up by the roots; others .remained
standing and in these trees you
could look up and see huge strips
of steel roofing lodged in the forks
of the trees or wrapped around the
branches.
The massive bank barn set back
quite a piece from the house, yet
huge timbers, torn from the barn,
were sent hurtling over the house-
top and dropped in the field be-
yond. Beams that would take sev-
eral strong men to lift.
The C,B.L, Transmitting Sta-
tion is right next to the March-
ment farm, but as far as we could
see, not a wire was touched. CBC
programmes were not even inter-
rupted. Naturally the CBL pro-
perty has a good, strong wire fence
around, yet the next morning a
calf was found on CBL property.
It certainly couldn't have jumped
the fence so one can only suppose
it was carried there by the wind,
Equally miraculous was the escape
of Hornby United Church, within
a stone's throw of the path of the
storm.
The poor little birds were most
unhappy—a tremendous lost of
chattering and chirping was going
on among them, One tree, ripped
in half, had exposed a flicker's nest
and two little fledgelings • were
yipping away like a couple of lost
chickens. •
On the Russel King farm, perch-
ed on one of the barn stringers
from which the roof had been lift-
ed, there was one lonely pigeon
and a little bantam hen, sitting
disconsolately side by side. Other
hens and chickens appeared quite
happy, picking their way among the
debris, more than likely delighted at
being allowed so much liberty.
When the storm struck the pullets
had not yet gone to roost, so the
casualty list on that farm was not
more than 15.
Across the road Harry Newton
was not so lucky. There was noth-
ing left of the pen that had housed
his 400 capons—and very few of
the chickens,
So far as we know none of the
farmers carried wind insurance --
too bad wind insurance is so often
regarded as an unnecessary ex-
pense. It scents to be just one of
those things . . . one may pay
premiums for years and never make
a claim, But if the necessity does
arise then the compensation is
worth all the premiums that were
ever paid,
After we got hone that day,
Partner made a few observations
that had not occurred to me, He
was comparing the effects now to
what it Was 20 years ago. "At that
time," said Partner, "a farmer was
practically dependent on his barn.
He couldn't carry on without it.
But now, with his buildings gone,
a farmer's field work need not
stop. He can bale his hay and stack
the bales. He can combine his
crops, sell the grain and bale the

Handyman Can Make Efficient Door File
BY EDNA M LBS
QUCH labels as "scatter• -brained" and "inefficient" have
been lagged on women for generations. .Housewives
forget their ;appointments, lose their bills, foul up their
bank accounts. Women, charge their husbands, simply
have no mind for business.
A more accurate conclusion would be: women have no place for
business, The average home is simply not set up for fingertip organ-
ization, The milk bill gets thrust in the kitchen door; the gas bill
arrives in the mail, but the baby grabs it for play; receipts and im-
portant papers get stucic in with recipes or lingerie because there's
just no other place for them,
Most women have neither the space nor the time for an elaborate
tiling system, but here's an idea for a simple -to -make, easy-to-use
tile that may be hung on the back of the kitchen door for easy avail-
ability.
This file, which is planned as a calendar system, is divided into 39
individual pockets—one for each day of the month plus four extra
divisions for miscellaneous use,
USE MAILING DATE AS GUIDE
JT'S suggested that homemakers file their bills under the dates they
should be mailed, SInce most firms now use staggered bookkeep-
ing systems, homemakers receive bills all month long. Sometimes,
because there's no concrete reminder, the writing of checks in pay-
ment gets shoved aside, By slipping your bill into the due -date
pocicet, however, you will find it easy to remember to deal with it
promptly.
Such a file is also an aid in keeping up with social appointments.
Memos jotted down just after you've received a verbal or a telephone
invitation may be placed in the proper slot, By checking papers
tucked into the current day's file each morning, you will have a
Mermanent, memory -jolter.
If your husband is handy with tools, it will be an easy job for him
to construct a calendar file for you. The materials he'll need are:
a 42 -by -25V2 -inch piece of pressed wood; 173 inches of wood parting
strip, one -halt inch by three-quarters of an Inch, to be ripped for
eight vertical and six horizontal dividers; half-inch brads, numerals,
priming paint and enamel, screws and curved washers for mounting,
straw. Jt isn't even necessary to put
up another high bank barn, as,
with the use of modern machinery,
hay and grain crops require less
room than they did 20 years ago.
A big barn nowadays has too much
air space—and that in itself is a
wind hazard."
Sunday 'WC went back to hlornby
again and saw a striking example
of what can be accomplished with
the cooperation of good neighbours.
Much of the debris had been clear-
ed away, men had been busy with
axes and cross -cut saws. A house

and a poultry barn had been re -
roofed, We saw a young housewife
hurrying over with borne -baking
to those who had lost the comforts
of home, We heard of an old gentle-
man, over 80, who had been busy
all day Saturday fixing timings here
and there on one farm, and then,
after supper, when everyone
thought he had goite house, he was
discovered on top of a garage, help-
ing to re -shingle a new roof that
the wind had lifted.

bours are wonderful people,

"Letting The Cat
Out Of The Bag"
Are you bad at keeping secrets?
Do you frequently let the cat out
of the bag?
Shrewd country folk going to
market used to try to palm off a
cat in a bag as a succulent little pig,
As long as the gullible were content
to buy a "pig in a poke," that is,
make a blind bargain, all went well
for the seller, and the trick was suc-
cessful.
However, if the buyer Investi-
gated, then the cat was well and
truly out of the bag,
"Poke" is an old word for bag,
and pocket is a diminutive form
of it.

together of two or spore fruits re-
sults in a superior product of inde-
scribable flavor, The fruits that

Apples and black currants
Apples and quinces

Grapefruit and. oranges
Tangerines and oranges or grape-

Exactly How Long
Is One Yard?
You have no idea, maybe, of the
trouble they have been having with
the yard,
Not the back yard, or Scotland
Yard, but the yard long. Most of us
are content to dismiss it as just 36
inches and go gaily on our way
regardless. Regardless of the fact
that recently when they cornered it
one yard was not 36 inches at all,
It was exactly 35.998669 inches.
And that, my friends, was just
0.000008 inches longer than it had
been 10 years previously, writes
John Allan May in The Christian
Science Monitor,

Further complications culminated
in 1947 in 'strong evidence that the
imperial standard yard and its orig-

during the past 52 years by nearly
two parts in a million." Ouch!
Metal, of course, does all sorts of
queer things. It even "creeps" But
a new high in eccentricity has been
reached by an NPL standard bar
that bas been found to measure
differently, in . France than in Eng-
land, "No satisfactory explanation
was found," they say. It doesn't sur-
prise Inc.
Then in 1948 along came tite
American National Bureau of
Standards with the gift to NPL of
a lamp of mercury •transmuted• out
of gold in an atomic pile. Its waves
prove to be "the ideal measure of
length." That's talking!
If today • metrologists still c:an
legally measure only the same im-
perial, or jumping, standard,
gather they now at least can mea-
sure its eccentricities more accur-
ately: "One day we will have a law
passed making ti►is atomic light
wave our standard measure. The
yard will then be stable. That will,
be in 100 years, I imagine."
I was mighty relieved to hear it:.
Really Big `Pile"
By agreement with Canada and
the United States Britain's Min-
istry of Supply discloses how a
nuclear reactor of the latest type is
constructed. The heart of a big
"pile" or reactor is a huge block of
graphite into which spears of ura••
niunt arc inserted and which is en-
closed in a jacket of steel and re-
inforced concrete. Among the bun••
dreds of different materials that go
into the reactor arc 5,000 tons of
graphite, 3,000 tons of concrete, 600
tons of steel and forty tons of ura-
nium, More than 1,800 channels are
bored into the huge graphite cube.
Half of these carry rods of ura-
nium. Boron rods arc inserted into
the remaining channels- to control
or neutralize the atomic- reaction.
The surrounding graphite reflects
neutrons that would otherwise
escape from the central core. Ra-
diation inside the pile is blocked
by the outer casing, a shell made
of reinforced concrete lined with
cast-iron plates six inches thick.
The keeper of the elephants at a
circus at BIelefeld, Germany, slept
in their .enclosure one night. When
he awoke he found that his charges
had eaten his hat, coat, wallet and
had started on his trousers.

River of .Grass
There are no other Everglades in
the world.
They are, they have always been,
one of the unique regions of the
earth, remote, never !•holly known.
Nothing anywhere else is like
them; their vast glittering open-
ness, wider than the enormous
visible round of the horizon, the
racing free saltness and sweetness
of their massive winds, under the
dazzling . blue heights of space.
They are unique also in the sim-
plicity, tate diversity, the related
harmony of the forms of life they
enclose. The miracle of the light
pours over the green and brown
expanse Of saw grass and of water,
shining and slow-moving below, the
grass and water that is the meaning
and the central fact of the Ever-
glades of Florida. Tt is a river of
grass,,.,
The English from the Bahamas,
charting the Florida coasts in the
early seventeen hundreds, had no
very clear idea of them, Gerard de
flraltm, the surveyor, may have
gone up SOnhe of the east -coast
rivers and stared out on that end-
less, watery bright expanse, for on
his map' he called them "River
Glades." But on the later English
maps "River" becomes "Ever," so
it is hard to tell what he intended.
The present name came into
general use only after the acquisi-
tion of Florida from Spain in 1819
by the United State3. The Turner
map of 1823 was the r',r;; to use the
word "Everglades," ' ' '
The word "glade" is of the oldest
English origin. It comes front the
Anglo-Saxon (glaed," with tble
"as" diphthong, shortened to "gla."
ft meant "shining" or "bridge,"
perhaps as of water. The same
Mord was used in the Scandinavian
languages for "a clear place in the
iky, a bright streak or patch of
light," as Webster's International
Dictionary gives it.
But most dictionaries nowadays
tad a definition of them with the
Iualifying phrase, "as of the Flor-
Ida Everglades." So that they have
thus become unique in being their
>,wn, and only, best definition.—
From "The Everglades: River of
Grass," by Marjory Stoneman

For,, believe it or not, the have
just finished reading an article
in an English journal of wide cir-
culation in which the sacred sport
of CRICKET is most severely
criticised. Cricket, mind you! Why,
that's mutiny, that's what it isr Or
firing on the guards! Or something!
4 • •
Writing about one of the current
Test Matches between South Africa
and England, the author, one Jef-
frey 1Vyndhanl, says "The crowds
will go because of the natural at-
tractions of a Test Match and the
knowledge that every player is a
star. But although a five-day gate,
when eventually shared out, may
be a good physic for county trea-
surer's sick balance sheets, these
five-day marathons are ruining
cricket as a spectacle!"
h t * •
Fancy that! Ruining cricket,
egad! Wyndam may be an English
name, but we suspect the plan
mast be a Sinn . Feiner at heart.
k *
But that is. by no !leans the
worst. Brother Wyndham is merely
warming tip. "Five-day matches are
a modern fetish," he goes on to
say, "They were started because
England and Australia, scared of
losing to each other, declined to
show boldness in play . , The
only means so far devised of finish-
ing a game was to stretch playing
hours."
* * *
(Here we might say that the

stretching was done to the extent
that instead of getting three sell-
out gates they now grab off five,
Which might be an idea, at that,
for our hockey moguls who object
to playing overtime. When the re-
gulation 60 minutes end in a tic,
tell the customers to kick in. with
the price of another admission and
stop to sec the finish,)
* * *
Bur back to Brother Wyndhalil, '
"When' this happened the first prin-
ciple of cricket was cast aside—
that it's the game, not the result,
that matters, Soon other cricket
playing countries regarded them-
selves as slighted finless they, too,
were given five-day Tests,"
"Five-day Tests are defeating
their own object, Thcy were de-
vised to bring about results and
maintain interest, avoiding the frus-
tration of a draw. But players have
come to regard them as an exten-
sion of their lease of the wicket, In-
stead of making sure they finish
the game, they try to 'stay in as
long as possible."
*
* 1'
Now the warns -up is over, Mr.
Wyndham is out of the bull -pen
and starts really flinging. IIcarkenl
* * *
It may be a grim business for the
player, who is obsessed with the
idea that he is engaged In a life -
or -death ,struggle for his cricketing
reputation. But spectators who pay
to see a cricket match are ,not in-
terested in a player's personal am-
bitions. They want to be enter-
tained—after all, they do pay enter-
tainment tax in their admission
money.
♦ * *
Cricket offers either the most
delightful relaxation or the most
boring spectacle. I know one cynic
who frequently declares that coun-
ties are encouraging boring cricket
in the hope that it will drive spec-
tators to drink and so increase the
bar takings!
But not even that excuse will
last much longer. The most patient
will evventually realize that they
can get acheaper drink outside the
ground and save admission money
as well.
* * *
At heart, practically every Briton
likes to watch a game of cricket,
whether it is played in the sanctity
of Lord's, the smoke -grimed at-
mosphere of Manchester or Shef-
field, a tree -fringed village green,
or just a bump pitch in a public
park.
But however much he may of-
fend the purists, ivhat he 'really
wants to see is, the ball being hit.
Crack it away to the boundary
and he will raise a cheer; pat it
back to the bowler and he re-
mains dumb, or else applauds ironi-
cally,—if he hasn't gone to sleep.
* * *
It may be hard on the bowler,
but it is the batsman who really
matters from the spectator's point
of view.* Everyone' can: see what
he does; but even with binoculars
it is sometimes difficult to discover
what type of delivery the bowler
is trying.
Evenin the pre a box, where
cricket writers are supposed to be
neutral and unbial:ed, I and my col-
leagues have often breathed a fer-
vent "Thank gcodness he's gone!"
when a particularly stodgy batsman
has at last been removed,
• 4 *
The crowd go to see runs scored,
or else in the main they won't go
at all, They will applaud the clas-
tic strokes like the majestic off -
drive, the graceful rut, or the al-
most contemptuous pull, But they
will also applaud a snick through
the slips or a blacksmith's swipe,
4 • •
It may be sacrilege to suggest
that the public are mainly inter-
ested in seeing runs scored—but
it is very near the truth. For con-
firmation, look to the prosperous
league clubs in the Midlands and
North, where, even if small grounds
(10 make fours easy to get, the
crowds roll up to applaud quick
runs—and make handsome collec-
tions for the man who gets them.
* * 4
Crowds went to see men like
Hobbs, Woolley and Bradman be-
cause they knew they would score
plenty of runs, and usually get
them quickly. Woolley, from whom,
in the eyes of many small boys,
anything less than a six was a
mishit! was the most graceful bats-
man In modern memory. Hobbs
also was a supreme artist. Brad-
man cared little about the ars,
but he got the runs—and quickly.
We still have Hutton and %Comp-
ton, who are first-ratecr tamen
as well as ground -fining enfertpin-
ers,
• • ,,•
Men like these are rare indeed.
But players with far less talent will
quickly get a crowd -pulling reputa-
tion just by trying to look enthu-
siastic and going for the quqick
singles that so many orthodox
' batmen disdain.
Call it tip -and -run cricket if you
like, but that is my remedy for
cricket's ills, Quick runs at almost
any cost, even if we have to lower
the standard of batsmanship. As a
lover of the arts of cricket it is
against my inner wishes to say
so—but rather lively decadence than
a genteel corpse,
There's too much sauntering on
to the field and when changing
positions between overs. Too many
players look bored.
u 4 *
The public do not want to wait
five days to know a match result.
Three should be ample even for
a Test. There may be ways to
enliven cricket by artificial means,
but for a start let's try more keen-
ness and entnsiacm among the
players.
A cricket ground is no place for
bored players or bored spectators.
If clubs remember that and act
accordingly they will be a long
,Way towards solving their problems.
• * •
But sufficient of such a sad sub-
ject for the time being. More than
sufficient, probably,'as we know
that our readers' hearts must have
been wrung, even as ours• was, at
such a sad tale. Just to think that
there are cricketers who actually
imagine that their personal batting
averages matter a tinker's dam!
Just to think that there are cricket
writers who consider that the cash
customer—the guys who keep the
game going—are deserving any
consideration!
Still, if the top brass of cricket
are really worried, we have a
couple or three suggestions to make.
If they really want Rorc and faster
scoring why don't they call strikes
on the batter or bring in the fenc-
es closer to the pla—we mean the
wicket? Better still, why not in-
ject a stunll amount of rabbit into
the ball?

TABLE TALKS
clam Andrews.
The keynote for successful out -
alcor parties or family picnics is
simplicity—just plenty of a fete
foods with all the necessary trim-
mings. To save trouble and ex-
citement, write down the menu
ahead of time. Fasten it to your
kitchen wall with a tiny piece of
Scotch tape and then you'll be sure
not to forget the mustard and hot
sauce that go with hamburgers or
the sugar that stakes the beverage
palatable to sonic of the guests.
Check off each iteral as it is put
in the basket and there won't be
any last-minute breathless wonder-
ing if you have everything.
Wats that can be eaten in buns
furnish one of the most conven.
ient types of picnic foods. They
eau be cooked quickly and eaten
gracefully and they go %yell with
baked beans, potato or other salad,
or any one of a number of filling
casseroles that can be taken hot
from home. (A simple way to
keep these hot dishes warm is to
take them piping slot and covered
from the oven and wrap them in
many thicknesses of old news -
rapers.
4 Y J
If your picnic kit is equipped
with two-pronged cooking forks,
try roasting franks on one prong
with small salted tomatoes and
mushrooms (or small onions) plac-
ed alternately on the other. Every-
body likes these frank kabobs.
A t e
If you have a cooking grill, take
along a big skillet and heat the
treat in barbecue sauce which you
have made at hone the day be-
fore. This takes about eight min-
utes. Spoon up enough of the
sauce to moisten the bun and you
won't need any other garnish. This
recipe ntakes one pint.

"Best" Quilts And
Counterpanes
Excluding the great mansions
occupied by the colonial gover-
nors in eighteenth -century Ameri-
can, the home of the average citizen
was small and his family large.
'there rarely were more than one
or two.'bedrooms and often a bed
was an article of parlor furniture.
\Vealtlfy Nicholas Van Rensselaer
owned but two beds plus a built-in
sleeping -bank, according to the pub-
lished list of his Household effects
at his death 'in' 1695. To account
for the great ."diversity— in sizes of
the earliest _examples of bedcovers,
the bedstead of the period must be
considered. Important articles of
furniture were made to order by
journeymen cabinetmakers, accord-
ing to individual tastes and needs:
many four -post beds were only
four feet wide; extra width was
charged for at the rate of two
pence per inch and a man's wealth
and standing' in the community
were measured by the width of his
bed as well as the richness of its
carving. There were field beds, low
four-posters, wide and high four-
posters and the "slaw -bank" or
built -int bed which was a feature
in the homes of the early Dutch
settlers.
Front flax grown and sheep
raised on the home plantations,
they spun the thread, dyed the
yarn and wove it into materials
both coarse and sheer to be used
for domestic purposes. From Eng-
land, \Vales, Holland and other
continental countries women had
brought to' their new homes sturdy
hearts, dextrous hands and the
memory of colors and forms that
had been part of the 0111 World
culture; it guided their taste in
decorative stitchery. In cities and
near large settlements, there were
expensive schools for young gen
tlewomen which advertised instruc-
tion in "all sorts of fine needle-
work, Turkey -work, quilting, and
Atomic Animal Husbandry—Models at a recent Animal First Aid
course, "Sport," the pup, and "Tiger;' the kitten, find themselves
agreeing wholeheartedly with General Sherman's views on war.
In response .to a Civil Defense warning that hysterical animals
would constitute a grave public menace during an atomic attack,
the Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals began
"•it aid course designed to teach students how to care for
animals in an emergency.'

embroidering in a new way"; for
the most part, the average house-
wife followed her ,own inclinations,
achieving vigor in her handwork
and, with ..surprising frequency, a
delicacy and charm which must
have been the result of fine feeling
rather than formal instruction. 1 t
was a generation -to -generation af-
fair; mothers taught daughters and
it WAS required that every female
of tender years and decent up-
bringing learn to spin and do a
"daily stint" with the needle.
The reason for the generally good
-condition of the few spreads which
have survived is that 'they were the
"hest" quilts and counterpanes, had
liven used only on festive occa-
sions and had been lovingly cared
for between times, Often when the
best counterpane was on the bed
in the homestead's guest chamber,
the shades were tightly drawn so
the sun could fade neither the bed-
cover nor the carpet.
Seamen and traders brought
home to their families cotton prints,
palampores, glorious in forst and
color, also precious shawls from
India; these were the source from
which many quilt designs sprung—

'i'Itis is a COIl1111011 exclamation
when someone learns of a tricky
new device for staking work light

kind's inventive genius.
But s11ch will not be the the case

Unfortunately mildew stains are

A Fall Fair In Early Summertime
As most everybody knows, the greatest enemy to a successful fall fair is bad weather. If the Agricultural Secretaries whose
hearts have been broken by rain, sleet and even snow were laid end to end they would stretch from here to—well, quite o long
way.
Some Ontario communities favor moving the Fair forward on the calendar to assure themselves of sunshine and favorable
conditions. One such is Maxville, in Glengarry County, where a successful Fair was held late in June. The section of "The Midway"
shown in the picture above apparently fascinates the younger generation just as much, no matter what the month; while the
trotters—or maybe they're pacers—look to have plenty of zip as they round' the final turn into the stretch.

to be the answer to an age-old
dream—tile dream of potato, turnip,
carrot and other root -growers of
being able to store their produce
in the late Fall and not have its
value slashed to pieces through
sprouting,
* * 4•
Sugar -beet farmers and proces-
sors have longed for something
which would prevent the beets from
heating in storage and so losing a
valuable part of their sugar content,
her, AIH alight be the answer to
that one as well,
4 * 4:
Maleic hydrazide is a new chemi-
cal that you simply spray on tuber
crops SOMETIME BEFORE
HARVEST. Then when your tu-
bers are dug and stored, they sim-
ply refuse to sprout and retain a
remarkable freshness, according to
W. Lowell Trcaster, writing in The
Country Gentleman, Tests have
been going on with these preha'-
vcst sprays for two years now, and
have been successful to the point
of amazement, As yet the chemical
is being manufactured for experi-
mental purposes by the United
States Rubber Company, whose
chemical division says—" Limited
quantities of MIE-30 are available
for test -sales purposes during the
current season, and sales arc limit-
ed by law to organizations with
qualified technical personnel who
will supervise tests and report on
results."
4. 4, *
While testing a number of chemi-
cals, S. H. Wittwer, Michigan State
horticulturist, two years ago dis-
covered that this compound has
properties for arresting growth in
stored vegetables. At Ahat time he
was starching for something that
could be used as a prcl►arvest fo-
liage spray to prevent sprouting.
First tests were on onions; later
potatoes, carrots, garden beets, par--
snips,
artesnips, turnips, rutabagas and sugar
beets. All experiments were uni-
formly successful.
* * *
"I have seldom seen tests when
results were so nearly perfect as
those with maleic hydrazide," Witt-
ier commented. "We could hardly
believe then possible,"
The scientist has large quantities
of both Pontiac and Cobbler pota-
toes in storage—half of titer» treat-
ed, the other ]calf untreated, As of
May 15 the treated were as sound
and as firm as when they carte
from the ground; the untreated
shriveled, soft and wearing long
sprouts, absolutely unfit for use.
Both varieties were planted last
May IQ,1950, and harvested about
September 1 1950, Various maleic
hydrazide concentrations were ap-
plied from two weeks to six weeks
before harvest. Potatoes receiving
2500 parts of MI -1 per million parts
of water either four or six weeks
before harvest refused to sprout
during eight months of storage' at
57 degrees F. Even with 1000 parts
per million there was little evidence
of sprout ,growth, There was 110
effect on yield of the sprayed crop.
* 4: *
Onion tests were as convincing,
with trials even more conclusive as,
tltey have been conducted for two
years, The saute can be said for
carrots, garden beets, parsnips and
turnips.
4, 4.
In the onion tests the green tops
of the various varieties were spray-
ed in the field about two weeks
before .harvest, Solution strengths
ranged from 500 to 2500 parts of
MH per million of water. Although
considerable inhibition of sprouting
took place with the 500 strength,
• the 2500 -parts solution held all of
the onions in perfect condition,
with no sprouting, until May 10.
There was no evidence that sprot,t-
ing, would occur in the near future,
and all treated onions were as
sound as when they came out of
the ground.
•4, * 4:
Several large commercial grow-
ers in Michigan and Indiana' have
made tests of their own, and all
are enthusiastic. Several are order-
ing spray for larger acreages this
coating season.
* * *
To !earn what maleic hydrazide
would do for stored beets, two lots
•
of 51/4 tons each were used, one
lot treated, the other untreated,
both from the same field, Thcy
were placed in bin storage for 35
days. During that time temperature
tests were run to show how touch
heating took place. Sugar -content
tests Were taken before and after
storage.
4' * *
Most important was the finding
that the prcharvest spray prevented
Toss of sugar during storage. The
untreated beets lost more than 13
per cent of the total original sugar,
while the treated beets lost less
than 1 per cent, Weight loss was
held to virtually nothing in the
treated beets, while the untreated
lot lost nearly 10 per cent. Maleic
hydrazide also kept the beets from
heating, with the treated beets run-
ning several degrees cooler through-
out the 35 days of storage.
* * *
If the new spray continues to he
as successful in future trials, the
effect upon the entire vegetable -
growing and marketing industry
will be phenomenal. Onion growers
will be, able to turn to the higher -
yielding Sweet Spanish types of
onions for a better consumer mar-
ket, Sweet Spanish types haven't
been successful because of their
poor keeping qualities. Retailers will
be able to sell onions the year
around without large losses, House-
wives can buy in larger quantities
without fear of sprouting and shri-
veling. It is possible that the en-
tire national onion -breeding pro-
gram may be redirected to the mild-
er high-quality types which, in the
past, have kept poorly in storage,
4 * *
As for potatoes, good tubers will
be on the market throughout the
year. Growers, wholesalers and re-
tailers will make a surer profit, and
housewives can store without con-
tinually desprouting. Potatoes will
suffer no wrinkling or shriveling,
and little weight loss. Cooking qual-
ity is definitely superior in treated
as compared to untreated potatoes
after a period of storage, Potato -
chip manufacturers will likely find
a constant high-quality source of
supply, because tests indicate that
MH -treated potatoes will make bet-
ter chips even though the potatoes
have bean in storage for' Some time,
Color of the chip is better, and
there is no odor, no effect on
flavor.
As part of the tests all treated
vegetables were eaten, There were
no ill effects, and the consumers
could detect no change in flavor,
* * 4,
Othcr1vegetables arc soon to un-
dergo tests. Sweet corn and peas
are next. Both break down quickly
after harvest and require rapid han-
dling by packers to retain quality,
Scientists believe maleic hydrazide
may stop the enzyme action when
applied to these two vegetables.

Flowers have been providing
color in the garden for several
months, and the first several
months, and the first yields from
the early planted vegetable plot
have already appeared at the table,
Successive plantings of both arc
now in order to fill late gaps in the
flower border and round out the
season with a plentiful supply of
fresh vegetables.
* * *
A hint to beginners—both vege-
tables and annuals need a free -work-
ing, good soil in an open situation
if results arc to be worth the ef-
fort, 'Summer planting niay have
to be done during a dry time. When
this is so, it is a good plan to fill
the drills with water so that the
seeds are in direct contact with
moist earth. The dry soil with
which they are covered will hold
moisture and help germination.
* * *
A number of annuals from alys-
sum to zinnia may- be sown now.
1f they are being grown for cut-
ting, it is usually more convenient
to sow them in drills where they
are to bloom, Seeds should be sown
sparsely and the seedlings thinned
early so that each plant is at least
a few inches from its neighbor. This
is best done on a cloudy day if
possible, but if not, then in the
evening, to help seedlings recover
from possible root disturbance,
Where a mass effect is desired, seed
of such kinds as alysum, candytuft,
California poppy and portnlaca inay
be thinly broadcast and very lightly
raked in.
Where space is ready in the flow-
er border, seeds may be sown di-
rectly. For a mixed grouping, four
or five seeds are placed in stations
spaced according to the size of the
plants when grown, The seedlings
from each clump are thinned down
to one as soon as possible.
* 4, *
In cases where the space is not
yet available but will be before
the summer is over, seeds should
be sown in a prepared seed bad in
order to have the plants on hand
to fill gaps later on. The seedlings
arc moved to flats, or singly into
shall pots, as soon as possible,
Thcy hould have good soil to en-
courage growth and watering is
necessary to prevent drying out.
Such kinds as China aster, drum -
mond phlox, balsam, cosmos, gail-
lardia, coreopsis marigold, scabiosa
and zinnia transplant readily.
4. * *
Even if no vegetables have been
planted yet, a sufficient variety may
be grown from seed now to make
the venture worth while, A goodly
supply of snap beans can be enjoyed
by making sowings at al•out two-
week intervals up to sixty days be-
fore the first frost is anticipated.
Varieties with round or flat and
''green or yellow pods may be chosen
.0 according. to.preference, Seeds arc
'placed three inches apart and cover-
ed about two inches deep, Soon after
germination the plants should be
thinned to six inches apart.
* * *
Beals and carrots may be sown
up to rand -July to supply tender
root's for fall use. Seeds are scatter-
ed rather sparsely and covered about
an inch deep, then thinned soon to
stand two to three' inches apart.
Early varieties of both are best for
the last planting,
* * *
The cabbage tribe offers several
good vegetables for fall use. Seed
sown in late May gives strong
plants to set out in early July.
Often it is more convenient to ob-
tain seedlings from a commercial
source at planting time. Sprouting
broccoli will give a good crop rf
• tender heads before frost. Purple
cauliflower loses its unusual color-
ing when cooked, and sonic people
consider it more delicious than the
white. Brussels sprouts are hardier
and can stand considerable frost.
These all need soil well enriched
with organic material.
* * 4•
Chinese cabbage is an excellent
salad plant for late use. Mid -July
is time enough to sow the seed.
Started earlier, plants may bolt to
seed instead of heading up, Sr<ed-
lings transplant readily.

Tulips In Holland
At three o'clock each day a train
stearals into Amsterdam station,
"the flower train," Each day, in
the early morning, on the roads
to The Hague and Leyden, cycles
can be seen loaded witlt bouquets,
while on the canals the barges that
glide by look like moving gardens.
However large the flower con-
sumption in Holland can be, it is
far from exhausting the richness of
the Haarlem fi,elds. Bulbs for ex-
port arc ripened and selected, new
varieties are skillfully created.
There are .hyacinths, narcissi, lilies,
jonquils by the thousands, but pre-
ference goes to the tulips. It is
known that this plant was im-
ported from Turkey in the middle
of the sixteenth century by an
Austrian ambassador. . .
It was Clusius the botanist who
introduced tulips into Holland in
the preceding century, but inspired
specialists have altered a hurid,cd-
titnes their shape, size and colour.
Each new variety was paid the
price of gold. In the records of
IIaarlen► or Alkmaar are , found
deeds of sales which make one
dream. The prices are fabulous and
often money was insufficient, Some
gave pairs of pure Friesland horses
with their harness in order to pay
for then; others gave houses, parks,
etc, One variety bears the naive of
a brewer, who, in order to obtain
it, gave Itis factory with all its
equipment. It was the black tulip
that gave a romantic inspiration
to Alexandre Dumas when he wrote
his book, "La Tulipe Noire" ("The
Black Tulip"). These tulips were
impossible to find; however, there
arc others as regal. One single
bulb of these was sufficient as a
dowry for a daughter. The story
is told of a rich Amsterdam mer-
chant who, in order to be fashion-
able, had bought six bulbs of a
rare variety. He left them on a
table in his sitting room; his- ser-
vant, who probably' cants _•fr,otn
some distant province . wilier. the
bulbs were not grown, was.atnazed
to sec onions on a sitting -room
table; so she took them to the
kitchen, peeled them and put them
in the stew. The story does not
go on to say whether her master
enjoyed his meal or not. , , ,
The polder land, divided up in
squares by the narrow canals like
a chessboard, in springtime is like
a coloured rug whence rises a
sweet perfume. Stretches of golden

seen gliding down an invisible
stream, Little girls make necklaces
and waistbands with the flowers;
they standby the roadside and offer

EDITOR'S NOTE: Here's the second of two articles on the progress of cancer
research, written by the Science Editor of the American Cancer Society who recently
completed a three•month survey of research supported by the Society, His in•
vestigation took him to most of the universities and hospitals in places where
the Cancer Society has invested in research about $3,500,000 it collected last year..
By PAT McGRADY
Science Editor, American Cancer Society
If you have a cancer which hasn't yet spread to other parts
of the body, surgery is your best bet. Such cancers can be re-
moved as a rule, and the cure rates are often high.
If the cancer involves vital organs and the surgeon can't cut
it out, X-rays or radium still may cure you.
Surgery and radiation have been the standard methods of
curing cancer for years. And each year they become -more and
more effective,
Specialists in cancer centres of
such cities as New York, Boston,
New Orleans, Chicago, St. Louis
and San Francisco now can re-
move great masses of tissue and an
amazing number of important or-
gans to cut out the roots and
branches of a spreading cancer.
Months and years later an appre-
ciable percentage of these patients
are without cancer symptoms.
* *
And in almost all cases—even
when the cancer seeds have migrat-
ed to other parts of the body—pain
is relieved and patients live relative-
ly normal, routine lives for varying
periods,
Surgical progress has been made
possible by improved anes,thesias,
new techniques and apparatus, con-
trol of infection by antibiotics, and
plentiful blood transfusions.
Radiation therapy is moving
ahead very quickly, too, '
In such centres as Cambridge,
Chicago and New York, X-ray
machines which generate 2,000,000
or more volts are hitting cancers
which cannot be reached by the
scalpel or conventional X-ray.
In addition to this, tl►e patient
may sit in a chair which rotates
slowly while the X-rays are aimed
at the tumor. Tumors thus are given
a multiple of the normal X-ray dos -
proportionate impairment of their
age while intervening normal tissues
receive only a fraction of it—to the
decided benefit of the patient.
Radioactive iodine has shown
tremendous powers of relieving
thyroid cancer in a few cases, but
other radioactive materials so far
have not lived tip to sotnc of the
early rosy predictions, They are not
yet curing cancer.
A great and growing number of
chemicals have conte up from the
laboratories, where they have shown
in animal experiments that they do
more good than harm,
Testing them on human cancer
is a tedious business, Their failure
to help one kind of cancer by no
means indicates that they will be
useless in other kinds as well—as
a few experimenters are' learning.
Some chemicals declared useless
last year are showing promise on
other tumor types this year.
One of the newer efforts hi the
chemical treatment of cancer is
concerned with keeping the toxicity
of drugs down to a minimum, Usu•
ally when the poison is diluted so is
the anti -tumor effect.
A slight start may hive been
made, however. A vitamin -Bice agent
called the cttroi'orum factor seems
to have' reduced the toxicity of one
or two anti-cancer drugs twithont
power agrinst cancer.

BET FOR CURE k still surgery, If it hasn't spread, a cancer can be cut out of the body,
I•lot'mones rontinue to be the
most efl'ective treatments for some
kindsof inoperable and !toeless
cancers—female hormone for can-
cer of the prostate, male or female
hormone for cancer of the breast,
a female hormone called progester-
one for cancer of the uterus, corti-
sone for temporary relief of acute
leukemia.
Modern scientists have observed
that some cancers of the uterus,
which 'resisted X-rays, became re.
sponsive to X-ray treatment after
the patient was given male or
female hormones, And progesterone
has shrunk up some inoperable uter•
int tutors to the poipt where sur-
gery was possible and may have
been successful
Viruses of various sorts are being
turned against cancers in several
big centres. Every now and
then a virus (like that of chicken
pox or measles) has brought drama-
tic relief to certain types of can-
cer; but the effect has not been last-
ing. Now a variety of viruses are
being tested in hope of finding some
that will destroy cancer—and not
the patient,
A newly organized "pain clinic"
in New fork has found that the
terror, anguish and discomfort of
cancer can now be controlled with-
out narcotics in virtually all cases.
Psychiatric problems associated
with cancer have been uncovered
and some are being solved by
some scientists.
These are small steps—but steps
nevertheless—toward the conquest
of cancer.
With continued support, research
will .have niot'e progress to report
next year. Eventually—no one now
can guess wizen -cancer no longer
will be America's second most
common cause of death rad the
world's cruellest killer.
